Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get up, nigga tryin' hard like sit-ups (J.R.)
Nigga get caught in the field
He gon' walk in the building chest out with his chin up
Nigga got robbed, but I ain't got bitched
Spot him, bitch nigga won't admit us
Nigga don't keep it true to hisself
But a nigga gon' do it, it ain't no help like baow
It really don't make that sound, it's loud

That's why I don't make that sound
I really don't sell no half or O's
I'd rather just sell you pounds
I really wouldn't say they give-and-gos
Let me see how they doin' now
Might be some ruined now
Girl, how you doin'? She like

She wanna be close to me, wanna feel my pain
She wanna be Northside, wanna be beside, wanna be my main
Pull up with the heater out like the meter out like, "Where my change?"
She like, "I wouldn't do you, I wouldn't do you that way"

But you did
You always talkin' 'bout meds
Wake me up, fuck up my sleep
Who is this bitch on read?
She probably hang with the Bloods
But she fuck with the cholos, the yoyos and me
I had to say that shit quiet, she settin' that shit up
Don't tell the police what I'm doin'
They probably wouldn't believe what I'm doin'
Like I'm gettin' money, the crew get it too
Never givin' out leaks what I'm doin'
Get a call like, "I'm out front"
Let her in, that's all she want
Better yet, let's smoke a blunt
And she know I got demons, she ain't leavin' all because

She wanna be close to me, wanna feel my pain
She wanna be Northside, wanna be beside, wanna be my main
Pull up with the heater out like the meter out like, "Where my change?"

She like, "I wouldn't do you, I wouldn't do you that way"

That's hard, that's hard, yeah
Woah, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (I wouldn't do you, I wouldn't do you that way)
Oh, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (I wouldn't do you, I wouldn't do you that way)
She wanna be close to me, wanna feel my pain
She wanna be Northside, wanna be beside, wanna be my main
Pull up with the heater out like the meter out like, "Where my change?"
She like, "I wouldn't do you, I wouldn't do you that way"
Oh, ayy, I wouldn't do you, I wouldn't do you that way (TayTay made the beat)
I wouldn't, really, ayy
I wouldn't do you, I wouldn't do you
She said she wanna be around a nigga
Like, I really got demons and shit
So shit, I, I mean

It's crazy that, or cool that you like to be around a nigga, you feel me?
Pull up like, "Nigga, give me that shit" (Murda on the beat, so it's not nice)

Overall Meaning

The song "Close to Me" by Shordie Shordie is a heartfelt rap ballad that deals with the topic of trust and loyalty. The song opens with the rapper talking about someone who is trying hard, like doing sit-ups, to prove themselves. He then goes on to talk about how someone who gets caught in a bad situation will often try to look tough and confident when they are really scared inside. The rapper also talks about how some people do not keep it real with themselves and others, but he will always do the right thing even if it is difficult.

The chorus of the song speaks about a woman who wants to be close to the rapper, who wants to feel his pain, and who wants to be by his side. She even says that she would never hurt him, but he is skeptical because he has been through a lot, and he knows that not everyone can be trusted. The song ends with the rapper talking about his own demons, but he is grateful that there are still people in his life who are willing to be close to him, despite his flaws.

Overall, the song is a powerful message about the importance of loyalty and trust in relationships. It highlights how difficult it can be to open up to someone new and trust that they will not hurt you. The rapper is vulnerable in the song, admitting that he has his own demons, but he is still grateful for the people who are close to him.
